"It is not strange, then." said Dr.1 Cady, "that England used ,the comparatively inexpensive h yd ro ge for the ZR12. During the experi mental stages the gas bags had to be pmptied at times to allow changes tin structure. Practically the only 'plap~e to get the helium is from the nigural gas of Kansr.s, Oklahoma adB~ Texas, and thus far processes *of *redluction iu1ave not been perfected.

"I am inclined to think hdliuni never will come into general use for commercil airships, if such vehicles bccome common. The limited quan tity of the material, its high cost, and its! value in War bdlloorid will ptob ably make it imperative for the gov ernment to reserve all helium for its own use." Dr. Cady explained that even the best balloon covers did not pre vent entirely the escape of the lift ing gases, and -it is necessary con stantly to supply fresh gas. This is more true of hydrogen than of helium, but tLe.-wAktage, is ther,, and the continued operation of even a- snmall fleet of mar. balloons -would demand a 'cbnstant stipply of fresh helium. Experiments at the Uni versity of Kansas showed that tli helium must be nearly 90 per cent, pure in order to be safe. Similat experimenis in Canada showed com pnrativcly small oxplosions wlier mixtures containing only 75 per cent of helium were ignited. .'1h6 attcn)pts't6 produce helium il commercial quantities in the United States date from 1916.

RICE FORMS BASIS OF MANY FOREIGN DISHES LIKED HERE Also Used Widely by Americans for Salad Preparations - Combines Well With Many Flavord and Can Be Substituted for Potatoes, if Plenty of Vegetables are Used. Rice and potatoes are not exact equivalents in food value, although both contain a relatively large propor tion of starch. Potatocs, unlike mill ed rice, contain minerals and vita mines B and C. If the diet, however, contains plenty of fruits and vegeta bles, the use of rice for potatoes makes littje differpnce from the stand point of nutritiort, because these need ed substances are abundantly supplied by the other foods, the United States Department of Agriculture believes. In countries where rice is an im portant item of diet it is usually com bined with some other .ocal food of pronounced flavor. An American use for dry, flaky, cold boiled rice is as a salad basis. Left-over peas, carrots, green beans, or fresh tomatoes may be combined with left-over rice, or small amounts of fresh fruits. Grane fruit makes delicious salad when ser ved with rice and French dressing. Plain cold boiled rice or cold pressed rice may be served with lettuce with a hot or cold cheese dressing, or with mayonnaise. Either adds greatly to the nutritive value of the dish and gives it an appetizing flavor. Rice Combination Salad 1 1-2 cups coolied rice. 4 tablespoon's chopped pimiento. 3 tablespoons grated cheese. 4 tablespoons chopped celery. 5 tablespoons green peppers or olives Salt. Combine tihe ingredients and serve on lettuce with French dressing, or mayonnaise. I Most of the rice curries in the, Orient are made with a basis of plain or boiled rice, to which are added oth er dishes combining many foods and flavors, such as minced ham, salt fish, chopped boiled eggs, fruits, or vgge tables. They are usually served in a curry dish with perhaps 8 or 10 small compartments. After taking a por tion of plain rice, each person chooses as few or as many of the other dishes as desired, spreads them over the rice, T. Jtlpncpycr5 the glpe mass with curry sauce made as foows: Curry Sauce 2 tablespoons, fat., 2 tablespoons curry powder. 2 cups hot milk or water, tomato juice, or coconut milk. Half lemon. 3 cloves. 1 tablespoon grated coconut. Salt and cayenne. 1 chopped onion. 1 tablespoon chutney. Melt the fat and stir in the curry powder, add the milk or water, toma to juice, or coconut milk, and cook until it is smooth and thick, then add the other ingredients and let thc sauce simmer for 30 minutes. The dish known as pilau-a com bination of rice, meat broth, meat broth, meat, and fat---in some rice producing countries froms the com mon staple food of the people. Pilau is also a popular dish in Turkey, where it is often colored with saffron flavored with spices or mixed with currants in a way that does not find favor with weutern palates. Other forms and combinations are common in the Creole cookery of the Southern States. Any kind of meat or fowl may be used. Plain Pilau. 1 1-2 pounds meat. 3 cups water. 1 teaspoon salt. 1-4 teaspoon pepper. 1-2 cup rice. 4 tablespoons butter or other fat. Place the meat in the cold watet with the seasoning and bring it slow ly to the boiling point, removing the scum that rises to the surface. Cook it just under the boiling point for 30 minutes, or until the meat is about half-cooked. Pour the broth Into a double boiler, add the rice, which has been washed thoroughly, and cook it until tender. The rice will aberl th'e broth an the gralins will be un brol-en. Add the fat just before rc moom gthe rice to serve. Whil- the rice is being cooked, finish cooking the, meat by browning it in the oven or in an iron kettle on top of the stove. When both rice and meat. are cooked, pile the rice on a platter and place the meat on the rice. Spanish Rice 3 onions (medium size). 1-2 cup drippings. 1-2 cup uncooked rice. 3 cups fresh or canned tomatoei. VeM 1-tor I'jetlm cre Mhern iertin l 3 green peppers cut into strips. 2 teaspoons salt. Sileo the onions and cook until ten der and slightly brown in the melted fat. Remove them from the fat, add the rice, which has been carefully washed and dried, and bron it. Then add the cooked onions, tomatoes, green peppers, and salt; turn the mix ture into a baking dish and bake it. un til the rice and peppers are tender. This will make 6 or 8 average serv mgs. l'l EACH ER TO SERVE AND ALSO PAY FINE Meridian, Miss., Oct. 3.-The limit o fte law, a $500 fine and six months in pison, was imposed upon ,the Rev. W. E. Bennett, Nazarene preacher, after his confession today upon a statutory charge. Bennett had testified that the wo man with who mhbe lived for 28 years and who was the mother of his eight children was not his wife and claim ed his only legal marriage was to a young woman from Texas with whom he recently has been living. Justice Raymond Clay held that the mother of his children was his wife under Louisiana law. 'he couple had been living in Derider, La., until the time of Bennett's alleged desertion of his family.
